Holy Mountain, Duke's Castle.

The Duke of Celtic saw the trusted non-commissioned officer sent by General Joel. The non-commissioned officer came all the way and was exhausted, but he still managed to hold on and conveyed General Joel's message to the Duke of Celtic.

The Duke of Celtic did not expect that the Quinton consultant sent was actually killed by the meteor, and even the rock giants were discovered. He did not know how the meteor knew about the Land of Dreams, and how he could lock up so many rock giants.

, but these seem to be unimportant.

Sinclair issued a notice giving up his right to inherit the throne, which was absolutely fatal news for Tedga Hills. Now Tedga Hills can be said to be prosperous. Since the factory restrictions were lifted, factories have blossomed everywhere. In addition, Leo and Art

The legions have sent assistance, and some factories have been put into production.

I have to lament that machines are more efficient than manual work.

The Celtic Duke is confident that in just one year, self-production and external assistance can allow the barbarian army to complete a change of equipment. At least every warrior will have a set of sophisticated armor and weapons. In one and a half years, the food supply

, cloth and other basic materials can supply the wartime consumption of the Barbarian Legion and the Northern Army.

At that time, the Barbarian Legion and the Northern Legion jointly launched an attack to the north, overthrowing the usurping queen and queen, and installed the emperor's grandson Sinclair on the throne. After success, Tedga Hills could not only continue to maintain its independence, but also take the opportunity to

The southern part of the empire was brought under his own rule.

But when Sinclair gave up his right to inherit the throne, the entire Northern Army returned to the hands of the Empire. The Northern Army did not even need to launch an offensive. As long as the blockade was strictly enforced, the industrialization that had just begun in Tedga Hills died on the spot, and then waited.

Trapped to death.

That notice must not leave the Triumph Fortress. Agatha and Falling Star must die, forcing Sinclair to raise an army.

"Why did His Highness Sinclair agree to give up the right to inherit the throne? He has the most elite legion in the empire in his hands, and the ministers in the palace support him. As long as he nods, Tedga Hill is his strongest ally. What did the meteorite say to him?

, allowing him to make such a ridiculous decision."

Sinclair's decision was so incredible that the Duke of Celtic asked Sinclair in detail about the meeting with Meteor and Agatha.

General Qiao Shuer's trusted non-commissioned officers attended the meeting and told the Duke of Celtic about the contents of the meeting.

When Meteor heard that the Tedga Hills had officially begun the process of being incorporated into the empire, all the Celtic Duke could do was speed up the process or slow down the process.

The Celtic Duke was stunned!

Have I fallen into a meteor trap?

The Celtic Duke did not dare to look down upon the meteorite, and he immediately reviewed what he was doing.

After the factory restrictions in Tedega Hills were lifted, Raging Waves City became the largest import and export port in the empire. Most of the materials ordered by the factory owners of the Holy Mountain were transported to Tedega Hills through Raging Waves City. However, Raging Waves City actually ignored these obvious

The materials entering Tedga Hills were not blocked in any way, which really made it confusing for people to understand the purpose of the meteorite. The Duke of Celtic also sent people to investigate the materials that came in. Apart from the materials themselves, there were no suspicious items included.

Factory construction and production had to be carried out without purchasing goods, and the Duke of Celtic could only suppress his doubts.

Then there is the investment in livelihood facilities in Tedega Hills by the Charity of Raging Waves City. Does Meteorite want to disintegrate its rule over Tedega Hills by building roads, building schools, hospitals, and improving water conservancy?

And Baron Sergei said that these livelihood infrastructures are investments with no return and low return rate. Charities in Nutao City cannot make money, and they are real charities. With these unjust investments, the factory owners of Holy Mountain can

Investing money in high-return factory production can greatly speed up the industrialization of Tedga Hills.

If these philanthropic investments are rejected, the money must come out of one's own pockets.

Now that the Celtic Duke heard what Meteor said to Sinclair, he immediately realized that Meteor's attack on Tedga Hills must start from these two aspects.

But what Meteorite is doing is completely to help Tedega Hills complete the industrialization as soon as possible. It will only become stronger and stronger. Why does it seem like it is digging its own grave?

The Celtic Duke couldn't figure it out.

But if you want to stop Meteor from stealing Tedga Hills, you must immediately stop all materials and personnel related to Raging Waves City from entering. But Tedga Hills cannot afford this price, and the factory restriction has seriously affected the interests of some barbarians.

If the ongoing industrialization is stopped based on mere suspicion, the human race will definitely be strongly dissatisfied.

The Celtic Duke finally understood what... all he could do was speed up the process or slow down the process.

The fact that Yue Xing dared to say this in public meant that he believed that even if he knew, there was nothing he could do about it.

Meteor must die!

Whatever he was doing to the Tedga Hills, nothing could be done if he died.

The Celtic Duke immediately sent someone to call Belga, the third apostle of the Temple of the Abyss. As for the Northern Army Corps that Qiao Xiuer's close sergeant said would be reorganized into the "Royal First Sorcerer Corps", he did not pay much attention. Barbarian

We haven’t yet understood the steam industry, so we naturally don’t know what level magic technology is at.

Since the expulsion of the first apostle Victor, the current Abyss Temple has been completely controlled by the Celtic Duke. The third apostle Belga received the order from the Celtic Duke and immediately led a team of abyss mages to the Triumph Fortress.

Agatha and Meteor won't stay at the Triumph Fortress for too long, time is very urgent.

Triumphal Fortress.

All the condolences brought by the royal consolation group were distributed. Each soldier received a new multi-functional lunch box, soap, towels, some sausages and canned fruits. There were many more books and picture albums in the legion's reading room, as well as many balls.

categories, cards and other leisure and entertainment items.

The soldiers were given some of the caviar, red wine and other high-end foods that Meteorite mentioned. Although it was not much, everyone was happy.

Preparations for the condolence party were also completed. A large bonfire was lit in the fortress square. The officers and soldiers of the Northern Army stationed in the Triumph Fortress enjoyed the performances of the artists who came with the condolence group.

His Highness Sinclair has reached reconciliation with the Empire, and most of the officers and soldiers of the entire legion are relaxed.

The entire army's senior command was extremely nervous.

Something big will happen tonight.

Sinclair boarded the royal condolences train, and Agatha and Luke were sitting in the dining car, enjoying dessert after dinner while watching the performance outside.

Sinclair sat down and said with a serious face: "General Qiao Xiuer has just summoned a group of officers. They are all tough hawks within the legion. They have always opposed me giving up the right to inherit the throne. You will leave the Triumph Fortress tomorrow. I

I guess they will take action."

Luke asked the attendant to serve Sinclair a dessert, and then got him a glass of red wine, and then asked: "Is there anything unusual in the Barbarian Legion?"

Sinclair replied: "Because the Triumph Fortress is holding a party tonight, I specially sent people to inspect the surrounding strongholds. If the barbarian army has a big move, it cannot be hidden from our surveillance. Small actions will not pose a threat to the Triumph Fortress.

Do you doubt... General Qiao Xiuer will seek help from the Duke of Celtic?"

The Barbarian Legion did not move, indicating that General Qiao Xiuer did not dare to risk the life and death of the Northern Army. What he could do was probably similar to what he had guessed. A small-scale mutiny caused chaos and created opportunities for assassins.

Now that General Qiao Xiuer has summoned trusted officers, it seems that the assassins from the Holy Mountain are already in place.

Luke said to Sinclair: "Her Royal Highness the Princess and I both believe that General Joshua will not let us leave with your notice, but the success rate of instigating the Northern Army to surround us is not high, so he is most likely to

Ask the Celtic Duke to ask an assassin to carry out the assassination.

If my prediction is correct, the assassin should have blended into the sergeants outside."

Sinclair looked out the window and saw that the sergeants of the Northern Army were gathered around the bonfire, and all the high points where people could stand were full of people. Although there was a human wall of Imperial agents outside the train to prevent the sergeants from approaching.

, but the number of spies is limited and they can only guard these important carriages.

"For your safety, the party must be ended as soon as possible and the sergeants should be kept away from the train. I will go to General Qiao Xiuer now and hope to persuade him."

Sinclair was about to get up, but Luke pushed him back down: "You stay here! Get out now, we can't protect you."

Sinclair said: "General Joshua won't hurt me."

"But the Celtic Duke will."

Sinclair was stunned for a moment and figured out what Luke meant.

The eldest princess Agatha and the Marquis of Falling Star are the assassins' primary targets, and he is the second target. Regardless of whether the assassins succeed in assassinating Agatha and Falling Star, as long as they kidnap themselves, the notice will be useless even when it reaches the palace.

One piece.

What the Celtic Duke wants is that the Northern Army does not fall to the Empire. It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as the result is the same.

There are still undiscovered secret passages in the fortress. If chaos breaks out later, you may really be captured by the enemy.

"Okay, I'll stay here. Maybe General Qiao Xiuer will give up the action if he knows I'm here."

"I hope he gives up." Agatha said while looking at the performance outside.

At this time, in General Qiao Xiuer's room, more than a dozen senior officers gathered around his desk, listening to General Qiao Xiuer planning tonight's operations.

"At ten o'clock, everyone moves together. Don't carry weapons, don't cause large-scale chaos, we press the condolences train in the name of admonishment, and try to recruit as many sergeants as possible to join us during this period. When all the attention of the imperial agents is

When they are brought to our side, the Abyss Mage can quickly deploy secret techniques to pull the train into their preset space.

Now that most of the imperial agents are outside, as long as the train is successfully pulled into the preset space, both Agatha and Meteor will die."

On the desk in front of General Joel was a map of the Triumph Fortress, which marked the location of each person involved in the operation and what they had to do.

There are some red dots on and around the train. These are the locations where the Abyss Master has laid out the secret words. Qiao Xiuer and the officers in his organization are trying to create time and space for the Abyss Master to lay out the secret words.

Action planning is not difficult for these officers.

And just when the officers took out their pocket watches to check the time, a trusted noncommissioned officer hurried in: "Lord Commander, Your Highness Sinclair has just boarded the train of the condolences group, and he has not come out yet."

What!

General Qiao Xiuer couldn't help but stand up: "Why is Your Highness going to find Agatha and Meteor at this time?"

"Your Highness didn't say anything. Lord Commander, do you need us to call His Highness Sinclair out?"

"Quickly..." General Qiao Xiuer was about to order Sinclair to be called out, but once he did so, Yue Xing and Agatha might see the clues. Instead of calling out Sinclair, he might be about to start something.

was in danger during an assassination attempt.

When General Joshua was thinking about what excuse to use to call Sinclair out of the train, a voice sounded from the corner: "Please rest assured, we will not harm His Highness Sinclair."

"Who is there!"

The alert officers drew their weapons and pointed them at the dark corner of the room.

A black shadow swayed in the corner: "I am Belga, the third apostle of the Temple of the Abyss. Under the orders of the Celtic Duke, I came to the Triumph Fortress to assist General Qiao Xiuer in assassinating the Imperial Princess Agatha and Meteorite.

This is the first cooperation between the Abyss Temple and the Northern Legion, and it is a good start for both of us to turn enemies into friends."

Qiao Xiuer signaled the officers to put away their weapons, and then asked Belga: "Can you really ensure the safety of His Highness Sinclair?"

"Of course, if something unexpected happens to His Highness Sinclair, the Northern Army is the mortal enemy of the Barbarian Army, and we will not do such a stupid thing."

General Qiao Xiuer asked again: "Will you kidnap His Highness?"

Belga smiled and replied: "As a future ally, I think I should tell you the truth. Yes... Another order given to me by the Duke of Celtic is to take away His Highness Sinclair.

His Highness Sinclair will not be harmed in any way on the Holy Mountain, and he will receive courtesy consistent with his status. After we successfully seize the palace, the Duke of Celtic will personally send His Highness Sinclair to the throne that belongs to him."

"This is not part of our cooperation agreement," General Joshuer said.

"It's not in the cooperation agreement. But General, you can't control His Highness Sinclair. If we can prevent him from giving up his right to inherit the throne this time, we may not be able to stop him next time. His Highness Sinclair is too young, and he doesn't know what the throne means.

What, you don’t know the responsibility that his blood has given him. As the successor of His Highness Fania’s will, you must dare to correct His Highness Sinclair’s mistakes, and even do some disrespectful things.

Please trust the Celtic Duke. He has never regarded the Augustine family as an enemy. The barbarians have always abided by the covenant of their ancestors. Now that the Duke has lifted the factory restrictions, he did the same thing as Emperor Augustine. Tedga Hills and

The contradictions of the empire are gone.

It is our common goal to confirm the health condition of Emperor Augustine, expel the queen who usurped power, and eliminate the meteorite gang members who intend to embezzle the empire."

General Qiao Shuer thought for a moment and said: "Yes, we cannot let His Highness Sinclair continue to be deceived. Let him live in the Holy Mountain before we regain the throne for him!"
